很久没有见到蒲先生了，他的聊斋茶铺没有了宁采臣的“逐客令”之后，经营得愈加艰难了。但蒲先生是那种一条道儿走到黑的人，无论是开茶铺，还是考科举。

“采臣，这次科考你没去真是可惜了！明年咱们继续相约同去，只是你别再爽约了就行！”蒲先生爽朗地笑着。

“怎么？先生今年又未考中？”宁采臣坐下来，自顾倒了一杯茶。

“得意疾书，回头大错，此况何如，觉千瓢冷汗沾衣，一缕魂飞出舍。”蒲先生无奈地叹口气。

“怎么？先生该不会是把八股文写成了聊斋故事吧！”宁采臣玩笑道。

蒲先生摇头道：“那倒没有。我越幅了！”“越幅”就是违反了书写规则。科举考试对文字形式有非常严格的要求，一页只能写12行，一行只能写25个字，而且得写完第一页写第二页，写完第二页写第三页。蒲先生下笔如有神，写得快，第一页写完，飞快一翻，把第二页翻过去了，写到第三页上了，这就隔了一幅，越幅。瞧，八股文就是这么苛刻又可笑，就像爱情。

宁采臣又倒了一杯茶，转移了话题：“如今虽然我有钱了，但这茶钱我是不会付的，因为我和来这里的每个人一样，是心中有了故事，才敢坐到这里喝茶的。”

“哦？”蒲先生饶有趣味地坐下来：“不知是怎样的故事？”

宁采臣悠长地叹了口气：“故事说，有个落魄的书生，靠收账维生。有一日，他要收账的地方须得经过一座古寺，叫做兰若寺，不想却在寺中遇到一只女鬼……”

蒲先生认真听完了故事，最后问道：“结局呢？”

宁采臣低下头，有水珠滴答滴答地落进茶杯里，他哽咽着说：“书生带着女鬼的枯骨归葬安宅，女鬼感其恩义，竟真的还阳和书生做了尘世夫妻，还为他生了个儿子。”

蒲先生长叹一声：“好故事哪！这故事若写到书中，总得为故事中的人取个名字，不知取什么名字好？”

宁采臣抬起头，说道：“书生就叫宁采臣，女鬼便叫聂小倩。”

蒲先生更加直截了当，干脆就把这故事命名为《聂小倩》。

在《聂小倩》这则半真半假的故事，饱含着宁采臣所有的梦想和奢望。

宁采臣说：“我绝对不会辜负你，否则生生世世被你的冤魂纠缠不清。”——在蒲松龄先生的《聊斋志异》里，他们缠绵纠结，生生世世，直到今天。
